MERCIA
48. Blind Woman.


"Mother are you healed?" ask Hedya.


"Your aunt treated me" said Lyra.


"is August back?"


Lyra shakes. Hedya looked disappointed.


"you miss her?" ask Lyra.


"no. I think he's back, I just want to know what the edianna flower looks like" Hedya said.


"really? you know in proxima there's a lot of beautiful women and.."


"i'll practice again." Hedya left her mother without waiting for her to finish speaking.


'oh Hedya I really want you to be with him, but you're not his destiny, I don't want you to get hurt.' thought Lyra.

'It turns out Proxima is indeed different from the earth, there are no motorized vehicles, this is like the earth in the past.' August thought.


August walks into a small town, August's appearance slightly changed he uses a black cape without a head covering and uses a black buff given Ravenna. The day is already late in the afternoon, sound of rock n roll sound from inside his stomach, he then looking for a restaurant.


August only ordered a few slices of bread, cakes and drinks, he was still unfamiliar with the food in this world. August was fond of eating his food, he did not care many pairs of eyes watching him.he only occasionally glanced at a woman who had just finished a dish on her desk.The woman was about twenty years old, he was only occasionally glancing at a woman who had just finished dishes on her desk, wearing sleeveless clothes limited to a light green chest.it appears that the two lumps have added to August's appetite.


Before long the woman left the restaurant, August's gaze briefly met the woman, August smiled, the woman was indifferent and stepped away. August was a little surprised he saw a golden sword tucked in the woman's waist.


'hmm.. is he from the Armeda clan? if he's Aruna's friend or Aira's? I better ask him'


He immediately finished his meal and left, but he lost track of it.


'so quickly gone, I could not feel the energy in the place to eat, ahh.. wait if he is indeed from Armeda must be the same path he took with me.'


August was excited again, he opened the map and continued his journey through the small forest.only thirty minutes he moved, August stopped. The stomach was full of rest makes him lazy to move, he decided to rest for a while, he decided to rest a little, giving his stomach time to digest food better.the breeze makes him sleepy. he murmured in the heart 'disease of earth man, drowsiness.'


August fell asleep leaning against a rock not far from the path.


Again sleeping August, a white stick pressed against August's head, he was still asleep, the stick pressed August's chest still did not make him realize, but when the white stick pressed August's stick between his legs, August reflex pulled the white stick, the body of the owner of the stick lost his balance and fell toward August. I heard a woman's scream.


ahhhh..


August who was still in a lying position saw the woman's body will fall he caught it, but his hands pointed towards the woman's chest.


"godghhh.."


reposeful.


"You okay?" ask August.


hearing the voice of a man touching his chest, the woman panicked.


"hhhh. What are you doing let me go. you perverted man" said the woman.


August releases his hand, when the woman's body falls over August's body.


"let me go. let me go. please.. please..!" yelled the woman.


August panicked. "stop yelling..! you're beating me ..!"


the woman realized she was groping the ground around.


"oh" said.


"why are you sleeping in the middle of the street?" ask the woman.


"are you blind? I don't sleep in the middle of the road.


"i'm blind, don't you see a blind woman" she said.


August observes the woman, she is wearing a white dress as yet stitched, her posture is very similar to Julia, her body is densely filled, her chest is well, she is holding a white stick with a carving of a blue dragon. both eyes were covered in a white sheet of cloth. tucked in a golden tiara with small diamonds in blue.


"you have to take responsibility" said the woman.


"Well..what responsibility?" ask August surprised.


"you have touched me, do not try to run away" said the woman pointing to her right.


"i'm on your left" said August annoyed.


"you must come with me to my uncle's place." threatened the woman.


"i didn't do anything"


"you'll explain it to my uncle later, even if I'm blind my uncle can see who hurt me."


"i didn't hurt you."


"you touch me, if not responsibility, it means you hurt me" said the woman pulled August's right arm and put a chain bracelet and the other end she put on her own left hand.


"what are you doing?" ask August.


"so you don't run, this bracelet won't be destroyed by any weapon, so it's useless if you try to open it."


"did you sleep by the big rock?"


"yes"


"go on until you find a big tree and then to the right."


"what's your name? ask August.


"what do you know my name for?"


"you're asking me to take responsibility for some vague reason, can't I know your name?"


"oh.. yes. I forgot. My name is Amara who are you?"


"Mercia"


"What a weird name."


as they continued to walk, August always glanced at Amara. 'This woman's face is why it looks so much like Julia' August thought.


"Why are you silent" asked Amara.


"i wanted to ask you something, but I'm afraid you're offended" August said.


"you want to ask why I'm blind?"


"yes"


"about two or three months ago I was fighting with a spear-wielding woman, the power of her spear was so great that it left me blind" Amara said.


August was surprised that he thought 'what is Aruna that made him blind? what problems made him fight against Aruna.'


"Why are you fighting against that spear woman?" ask August


"The woman was sent to kill my uncle."


Hearing Amara's story leaves August limp, does Aruna return to being a ruthless cold-blooded killer.


"Can I try to treat your eyes?" ask August.


"Hahaha..are you a medical doctor?"


"not but it doesn't hurt to try, does it?" ask August.


"Well, how do you treat me?" ask Amara.


"open your blindfold, and drop this water on your eyes!" August gives a bottle of water that has been given healing energy.when he saw the whole face and eyeball Amara blue made August stunned.


'she really looks like Julia, which sets her lips and haircut apart.' August thought.


"Hey where's the water.." Amara's waiting.


"Sorry, your eyes are beautiful." replied August.


"what is this water?" amara pretended not to listen.


"that's the holy water I got from the dewdrop on the red lunar eclipse." August answers the origin.


Amara poured the water in the bottle into her palm and then dripped it into her eyes.


"then what's next?" ask Amara.


"i'm gonna massage the nerves around your temple."


August released golden energy as he massaged Amara's temple after a while he stopped.


"is there a change?" ask August.


"nothing, everything looks black"


"open your eyes first" August was a little upset.


"i forgot" Amara opened her eyes.


"it's still all dark black."


August moved his five fingers across Amara's face, with no response from either eye.


"Alright, I'm sorry I didn't make it."


forget it, let's just continue the journey.


"This romance is your blindfold!"


"just throw it away, I've been wearing it for a long time, and I'll change it for a cleaner one."


for some reason August was disappointed, he was eager to heal Amara.


'why do I feel guilty' August confused.
